News & Announcements

Emerging medical device firm Corvida Medical, of Coralville, has received a 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to market its first product, the Halo Closed System Transfer Device (CSTD), to protect health care professionals from exposure to hazardous drugs. The device received an ONB product code classification from the FDA, demonstrating no escape of hazardous drug or vapor concentration, no transfer of environmental contaminants, and prevention of microbial ingress.

More than 150 people attended the SBIR/STTR National Road Tour in Iowa this past week, and more than 100 1:1 meetings took place with representatives from 18 federal agencies including NASA, USDA, National Institutes of Health and National Science Foundation.

John Fuller, Ph.D, from Metabolic Technologies in Ames, said, "The roadshow was just what Iowa needed to help win more SBIR money. The state's commitment to IICorp to help with grant support and matching funding is excellent and companies should jump at the opportunity to get this additional funding."

The University of Iowa Research Park will kick off a series tomorrow called Startup Solutions that offers one-on-one expert advice on a range of topics to help tenants grow their businesses, including human resources, accounting, law and technical issues. The free series will begin July 1, when Brenda LaMarche of BRL HR Consulting LLC will be on hand from 2-4 p.m. at the UI BioVentures Center, 2500 Crosspark Road, Coralville.
